ON THE SHELVES OF MY SOUL

 

            on the shelves of my soul

            are countless treasures

            more precious

            than any grade of porcelain

            and every now and then

            I dust them off

            dine from their tasteful designs

            and as time goes by

            the more cherished they become

            for on the shelves of my soul

            memories await

            priceless as the loved ones

            who’ve given them to me
